I'm not surprised. That is a fantastic story.

We've heard your engine running. It's noisy. I think you said that there's been no improvement. So how does he know that the pulleys are not responsible for this noise as he hasn't renewed them? (Answer: he doesn't.)

I've renewed my pulleys Galambosi and I can assure you that it results in an unmistakable improvement of noise levels.
